Lazy day in Pamplona but that’s what it says in the plan.
I’ve walked 333 Kms in almost 3 weeks. According to my Camino app I have 709 Kms to go. Basically, straight across Spain.
It’s easy to draw inspiration from the pilgrims that I’m meeting. In among the gap year students and career breakers there are many people who have recovered from health scares and quite a few from SE Asia as well as France and Spain of course.

For your blisters have you tried “Dr. Scholl’s® Moleskin Plus Padding – designed to help alleviate pain from blisters, bunions, calluses and corns with adhesive padding that provides all-day pain relief.”
I’ve found that 2 pairs of thinner socks is best for walking.
Spotted any wildlife yet – wolves bears etc?
I had never really been that interested in Dr Scholl’s brand before this trip. Now I have installed his gel insoles to good effect. Blisters are under control for now but I have some sort of sprain which is a bit ominous.
I’ve always stuck to one pair of socks but a lot of people recommend 2 thin socks. I’ll try anything! No wildlife which is how I like it…
A few common desserts, apart from flan:
crema catalana – crème brulee
tarta de queso – cheesecake, but not as we know it
arroz con leche – cold rice pudding
natillas – cold custard normally served with a biscuit (rather like a rich tea) floating on top
tarta de la casa – tart of the house: could be anything
helado – ice cream
nata – cream
fruta – fruit (naranja is orange, manzana is apple, platano is banana, fresa is strawberry)
Amazing, thanks Julian. I’ll look out for crema catalana if they do it up here. Sounds tasty.
